Abstract
The performance of space shift keying (SSK) modulation using energy harvesting amplify and forward (AF) relaying is analyzed over the Rayleigh fading channel. Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer technique eliminates the need of power supply at the relay in cooperative communication. However, energy tapped from an information signal for harvesting would degrade receiver performance. At the same time, the distance between the relay and the receiver can be increased due to the power splitting-based relay with the SSK modulation. New closed-form expressions for average bit error probability (ABEP) is derived with a single AF relay and an upper bound expression for multiple relays with a direct link. Furthermore, the ABEP is analyzed for a partial relay selection operation. The numerical and computer simulation results are presented with the discussion.
